Sagar - CHD surgery sponsored by Dr.Mani Children Heart Foundation
Baby Sagar is just over a year old. But to his worried parents, it seemed like much longer.
Ever since he was born with a Ventricular Septal Defect, Sagar had been in and out of hospital with frequent severe chest infections. Medicines brought them under control - but they kept recurring often.
Doctors advised surgery. But there was a problem. The operation cost Rs.67,500 - and the family income was only Rs.500 a month!
Things looked pretty bleak - but no one had factored the power of a "Chain of Love" which would stretch across the world, reaching out with a lifeline to save the little boy.
With the contributions of generous donors who supported the Dr.Mani Children Heart Foundation, Sagar's operation could be funded. With his defect successfully repaired, the little boy is now a bundle of joy to his family again.
"We almost lost him. Now we treasure him a lot more for it" says his delighted mother.
